Cocu must be a goner surely? Surprised he's still there.

He'll only be there until the takeover goes through. No assets going in or out whilst that process goes through.


Bit sickening that Derby are about to become one of the wealthiest clubs in world football lol 

 

Could all fall on its arse though!

That's always been the case, rarely is there a team who runs away with it and wins it by like 15+ points. One season we won about 2 of our last 15 games or something ridiculous and still ended up 6th. Every year people say 'it'll be much tougher next year' but it rarely is.

 

Keep hold of Sarr for the season and you'll definitely be in the top 6.

are you talking about the 2013 season? pretty sure the reason we ended still in 6th was because we were 2nd/3rd for most of the season, well up until around feb anyway

True - but some teams have struggled after coming down.

Just said on EMT that Derby's on the brink of being sold to a member of the Abu Dhabi Royal family. 

Really quite sad to hear, even as a fan of a local rival club.

The 'English' game seems to sink lower with news like this.

We're foreign owned by rich people, it's the nature of the game.

 

If Derby are successful, the fans won't be bothered by who is in charge. You're in this game to compete and succeed.

The Derby takeover sounds a sham. The bloke isn't royalty at all if you believe this Newcastle fan:

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Hi all. You’ll be able to tell from my username where I’m coming from. I saw the ‘takeover’ talk of Derby via an NUFC link - just thought you might like a perspective from a club who the Bin Zayed Group ‘tried’ to buy previously. Hopefully you will all take this in the spirit in which it is meant - it’s a shame to see these chancers being linked to a ‘proper’ club like DCFC. If the East Midlands press is as poo as the North East, chances are they’ll not report this.

 

I’ll get this out of the way straight away; you won’t be taken over by this lot. They’re potless. They’re after the publicity. The bloke in charge of the organisation simply has a very similar name to the actual crown prince of Abu Dhabi. It would be like a bloke called Charles Windsor being mistaken for Prince Charles. He isn’t the ‘cousin’ of the Man City owner - he’s some sort of distant relative (plenty of them in that neck of the woods). The fact that the BZG did nothing to disabuse anyone of the fact that the press routinely mix their chairman up with the crown prince of Abu Dhabi says everything - he’s a con man. He works out of a pokey office in Dubai. He’s not a rich scion of the royal family. The man is called Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed al-Nahyan (note he doesn’t use ‘HH’ before his name - the equivalent of ‘HRH’) - he is NOT HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is the man who is crown prince (and who the papers kept confusing with), nor is he HH Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is a member of the royal family. The lazy bar stewards in the North East kept running this story well past the point that these jokers were exposed.

 

When they ‘bid’ for Newcastle in 2019, we had Liverpool supporters telling us they were tyre-kickers. They were right. They had contacted Mike Ashley, who told them the price - they then put out that they had ‘agreed’ the purchase of the club. For about six weeks the papers waited for them to show proof of funds (a knacker called Midhat was the PR man - watch out for his ********). The proof of funds never materialised - because they’re potless.

 

Hopefully no-one here is confused with the current takeover lot at Newcastle - that is actually the Saudi state (legal stuff is happening re that at present). It certainly isn’t that lot.

 

Just a heads-up that it is a waste of time to even think about this chancer buying the club - he hasn’t the cash. Unfortunately, they took in a lot of our support with their ******** - helped by the uselessness of the football press. Please don’t waste your time thinking about what will happen under them - this is as far as it will ever get.

 

With that, all the best for the coming season. I hope it will be understood that this post was not meant with any animosity - I’ve no negative feelings re Derby (after all, they play in the correct colours and have a dislike of Forest - both sensible & good things). Derby is a grand old club, and it irritates me seeing this bunch of chancers being linked with another historic English club.

 

edit: I’ve just seen that they gave Ashley a £30m deposit. No they didn’t - that was the Saudis. The Bin Zayed Group didn’t even get past the ‘proof of funds’ stage. Don’t mix up the Saudi PIF and this lot.

It’s a weird one. They sacked the manager just before the start of the season and drafted him in and they look unbeatable and scoring bags of goals. 
 

Still makes me laugh when I look at their results, check the line up and see the centre back paring of Liam Moore and Michael Morrison lol 

 

Omar Richards is one to watch from them though. Tipped for a move imminently. Our sort of signing. He’s a left back too.

 

edit: forgot to add they also appear to be Mendes latest championship pet project 😒

Heading for their third defeat in a week conceding at least eight.

 

Changed quickly.

Reading had a bit of good form but they've gone back to their old selfs pretty quickly. Will be a decent season for them if they finish in the top 6 IMO.

Stoke quietly shooting up the table though, bit like Huddersfield.

£4m to sack Cocu and his staff according to The Mail lol Says he’s on 90k a week but Derby fans dispute that, only 50k a week according to them. Whether the new owner has much money or not, they just have to hope he can run a football club better than Mel Morris.

Michael Appleton must surely be in with a shout of getting a Championship job this season?

 

He's definitely good enough but had his fingers burnt by basket cases before, be amazed if he jumped ship from Lincoln to a Wednesday.

 

Be great if they could get Nige back but the fella running the show is shady as anything.
